Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 205,59, dated July 2, 1878; application filed May 28, 1878.

To all whom it may concer/n:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM YOUNG, of Easton, in the county of Northampton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Candlestick, of which the following is a specification:

Figure lis a vertical section of my improved Candlestick. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on line y y in Fig. l.

The object of my invention is to furnish a can dlestick of simple and substantial construction, adapted to a chimney which will shield the candle from gusts of wind and prevent the iiying oft' of sparks.

It consists in a candlestick having a basepiece ot cast metal and a cup for receiving the candle, which is also ot' cast metal,and is provided with arms or brackets for supporting the chimney.

It also consists in a cap which is to be applied to the top of the chimney to extinguish the candle..

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawing, A is the base-piece ot' the candlestick, which is provided with the usual handle b. A socket, B, having the arms or brackets c, is riveted in a central aperture formed in the base-plate; or it may be made in a single cast-ing with the base-piece. From each bracket c a stud or nger, f, projects upward, for receiving the chimney E, the lower end of which rest-s upon the brackets c. The chimney E is composed of a cylindrical metallic portion, g, to which is attached an elliptical holder, h,for receiving the lower end ofthe mica portion t' ofthe chimney. The upper end of the mica is provided with a metallic binding, j, which is connected with the holder h by metal strips 7c. The cylindrical portion g is aperturedto admit air to the candle. To the upper end of the chimney is fit-ted an elliptical cap, F, which is provided with a knob, l, by which it is handled, and has an elastic rubber packing, l1,wl1ich insures a tight joint between the top of the chimney and the cap. This cap is used as an extinguisher.

This candlestick is substantial and durable, and may be carried about wit-hout danger of blowing out the candle.

Having thus described myinvention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat-
